Onamazu’s Own Seref Takes You On A Journey Through Organic Timbres In “Low Life”

In a sonic landscape covered with tens of thousands of producers, it sometimes becomes a tedious endeavor to source out original sounds to craft a proper song. As a result, more and more audiophiles are turning back towards conventional instruments to help supplement and beef up the allure of their tracks. Seref, a producer hailing from Switzerland, has blended post-rock and electronic production into a beautifully amorphous syrup for your ears.

The first ear-catcher to the track “Low Life” is the drums: very minimalistic, heavily focused around the snare, ringing in familiar vibes to bands like Explosions in the Sky.

The shuffled marching band pattern slowly dissipates and dissolves within the overpowering timbre of an entrancing string acapella, crafted to perfection as to share similar qualities to well produced synthesizers trying to serve the same purpose. The most standout feature of the 2 minute aural journey is the lack of percussion once the song brings in the droning melody, which causes the individual timbres of the heavily processed guitar chords to stand out in the listener’s ear. Keep an eye and an ear out for future releases through the Onamazu label, as there’s bound to be more sonic experimentation coming from this visionary artist.
